Software Engineer, New Grad

Denver, Colorado

Start the Best Work of Your Career at Boom

Most software engineers never get near the metal — you will. At Boom, our software team is integrated directly into the teams designing and building the world’s first sustainable supersonic airliner and the first purpose-built supersonic engine. That means you won’t just sling code in isolation; you’ll learn how airplanes and engines are designed, optimized, and tested, then use your software skills to accelerate that work.

Building the aircraft and its engine requires custom software across the stack — from real-time embedded code that governs jet engine operation, to high-performance pipelines that shrink week-long simulations, to modern web apps that help engineers visualize and interact with data. At Boom, no engineer wastes time doing something a computer can do better. Whether you’re close to the hardware or high in the cloud, the software you build will have an immediate, tangible impact on supersonic flight.

Role Overview

As a Software Engineer at Boom, you will:

  • Contribute to embedded jet engine control software that interfaces with sensors, actuators, and real-time systems
  • Build tools, pipelines, and services in Python, Golang, and Typescript that support aircraft and engine design
  • Build embedded software in C, C++, or Rust to control real-time engine and aircraft systems
  • Develop and deploy applications on AWS (S3, Batch, SQS, ECS, FSx, Lambda) using infrastructure-as-code (AWS CDK)
  • Deliver modern React front-ends to help engineers visualize and interact with complex datasets
  • Collaborate with aerospace engineers to understand requirements and automate error-prone workflows
  • Support integration efforts with simulations, testbeds, and instrumentation
  • Participate in strong software practices — version control, unit tests, CI/CD pipelines, and reproducible builds
  • Grow into increasing ownership of production-critical code as the aircraft and engine mature

The Ideal Candidate

  • Strong programming skills in Python, Golang, Typescript, Rust, C, or C++
  • Comfortable in Linux environments, using Git, and working within CI/CD workflows
  • Exposure to embedded or real-time systems development (classroom, projects, or internships)
  • Eager to learn aerospace concepts — propulsion, control laws, aerodynamics, structures — and apply software to accelerate that work
  • Demonstrates a strong work ethic and ambition, complemented by effective collaboration skills in a team setting
  • Excels in a high-energy, independent, and challenging work environment

What Will Set You Apart

  • Familiarity with scientific computing, numerical simulations, or data-intensive workflows
  • A passion for automation, you see repetitive work and immediately think “I could script that.”
  • Passion for aviation, propulsion, and building software and data tools that make complex systems work
  • A portfolio, GitHub repo, or class projects that show you can ship code others rely on

Education & Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field (graduating in Spring 2026)
  • Coursework or project experience in embedded software, robotics, aerospace, distributed systems, cloud services, or data pipelines is a plus but not required

Compensation

The Base Salary Range for this position is $73,000  - $92,000 per year. Actual salaries will vary based on factors including but not limited to location, experience, and performance. The range listed is just one component of Boom’s total rewards package for employees. Other rewards may include long term incentives/equity, a flexible PTO policy, and many other progressive benefits.

There is no set deadline to apply for this job opportunity. Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the search is no longer active.

Start Date

This position is expected to start in early summer 2026 (May or June) to align with typical graduation timelines.

ITAR Requirement

To conform to U.S. Government aerospace technology export regulations (ITAR and EAR), applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. Learn more about ITAR here.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
